Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

God, our Abba Father is saying, “Rend your heart. I desire your whole heart not just the pieces you want to give me. Weep before me and give all of it to me.  I will restore you in tender love.  Trust me with all of your heart.”

Rend means to tear apart, split or divide or separate.

Joel 2:12-13
“Yet even now declares the LORD, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your garments.  Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.”
